So if Douglas Adams said the secret to flying is to throw yourself at the ground and miss, I have to wonder what the ground's problem is with impact.

Maybe the secret to love is throwing your soft-squishy heart at the hatred and missing the hard parts?

I mean, hitting the ground is always going to hurt, yet we all keep aiming for it?

In other news, I just had a riot tonight discussing ridiculously complex statistical calculations that I only *started* to get the hang of once I'd refreshed my concepts of mean, median, standard deviation, confidence intervals, and how sigma and standard deviation affect bell curve trust in a statistical sense over time with regards to constantly adjustied...yeah, anyway, that was a fun basic discussion that really busted my behind because I'm trying to figure out how to translate some matlab -> fortran -> C++ -> C# conversions that may need to get tossed into a TSQL Stored proc and figuring out how the math would work. Anyone know advanced calc and statistic functions in SQL Server 2000? (C# would be easy in 2005, but no dice in 2000)

Totally not my area of expertise, but I love challenging projects for at least the discussion and though. No stake or pay in this one, so it's purely for fun.

So long as we can get along and things get tested, this will come out with actual code.

I'm totally excited for now, but we'll see how well that works as people give each other the programming equivalent of atomic wedgies.
